How did you hear about the group?

No answer yet

What kinds of activities would you like to see this kind of group do?

I'd need to check the group out more first.

What does being an atheist/agnostic/etc mean to you?

Well, this could be a rather long listing but simply put:
Freethinking
And, if a person dubs themselves atheist, they are responsible for their own actions. There's no god or devil to blame for uncontrolled desires - blah blah.

How long have you been a non-believer?

Since the day I was born or so I assume.
I've never accepted the idea of a personal god, even as a child. It's difficult for me to verify this but I believe the concept just felt illogical, even before I knew what that meant.

Introduction

Greetings.
A couple of things about myself:
I seem to enjoy bicycle riding just for the heck of it...
I enjoy researching subjects that interest me, no matter how random the subject may appear.
I like the idea of dancing but I lack innate skill.

We're about:

Meet local atheists, agnostics, secular humanists, scientific naturalists and other friends of reason for conversation and friendship! We often meet on Portland's West side but welcome people from anywhere. This group meets socially to discuss how to live and raise a family in a society greatly influenced by religious beliefs. We have a robust love of both life and reason and we bring that sentiment to our gatherings. Meetings are informal and social. Conversation is spirited and polite. For those with families looking to meet other atheist/agnostic families, we recommend the CFI Secular Parenting Meetup. It's a place for secular parents to help one another with parenting issues and to connect to other parents who are raising their children without religious beliefs. It can be found here: http://meetup.com/cfi-sfn/ So come out, have fun, and meet people who share your sense of better living by understanding the natural world on its own terms and without supernatural beliefs. This group is a project of CFI Portland: On meetup at http://meetup.com/cfi-portland and on the web at http://centerforinquiry.net/portland
